Description
Casa Juan is ideal for families, young and old with/without children. The Villa is maintained & furnished to a high standard, it sits within a quiet cul-de-sac in its own private plot with gated off road parking.
Externally the plot is mainly lawn, with two patio/BBQ areas, a large private pool (9.0m X 4.5m), there is ample space for sunbathing, eating and general outdoor fun.
Internally the property covers 100m2 and it has a large open plan fully furnished contemporary lounge / dining area, with ‘American’ style kitchen, master bedroom with double bed and en-suite, family bathroom and two twin rooms, one of which can also accommodate a cot bed. The villa Sleeps 6 (3 Bedrooms) with space for 1 infant cot. All bedrooms are air conditioned.
The lounge/dining room is furnished with 2 leather sofas, coffee table, dining table for 6, Internet TV, DVD player, CD player/MP3/Ipod dock & Wi-Fi.
The 3 bedrooms are accessed from the lounge & consist of a master bedroom with double bed, built in wardrobes, ensuite, safe and two twin bedrooms each with 2 single beds, built in wardrobes. NB twin bedroom 2 can also accommodate a cot bed (see photos).
There are two bathrooms: Bathroom 1 is ensuite to the Master Bedroom and is equipped with wash hand basin, bath, shower, WC. Bathroom 2, the family bathroom is equipped with wash hand basin, bath, shower, bidet and WC.
The beautiful enclosed bay of Cala en Porter with its sandy beach, shallow water, and children’s play area is only 900 metres away. The beach catches the sun until late in the evening; in our opinion there is nothing like sitting at one of the beach side cafes after a hard days sun bathing sipping your favourite tipple in the early evening sun listening to relaxing tunes!
There is always a life guard on duty (but they are rarely used), pedalos and umbrellas are available for hire; there are two beach side cafes, a shop and public conveniences. There are many other lovely beaches all over the island (over 100 in fact), all within easy reach for those with a car or why not try one of the many coastal walks along the islands trails.
Mahon airport is 15 minutes by car (NB Cala en Porter is not under the flight path). Car hire is not essential and it is a short taxi ride to the villa from the airport . We can advise on car hire companies & transfers etc if required.
It is a 700 metres walk to Cala en Porter town centre with its restaurants, bars and supermarkets.
Evening entertainment and dining can be found at the local bars and restaurants such as the Brasserie Dos Pablo's (Excellent food), Seagrams (good food & efficient service), Sa Paissa (evening entertainment), Hostel Castillo (Spanish cuisine), El Pulpo (good food), The Village Pub (good food & drink), 007 bar (live music, tapas, cocktails), Casa Tia (Tapas bar), El Pulpo, Dos Pablos, to name but a few.
For those who like to stay up until the sun rises why not try ‘Cova d'en Xoroi’ the only night club built into the cliff face, it makes a fantastic setting! The caves are also open during the day for coffee and spectacular views of the ocean.
Cala en Porter has a number of well stocked supermarkets which cater for all essentials, but for those wishing to stock up for the week we would recommend visiting one of the larger 'cheaper' supermarkets (Binipreu, Lidl, Euroski etc) which can be found on the road between the airport and Mahon (approx 15 mins drive).
The easiest bank to find is La Caixa which is located at the top of the road which leads down to the beach, the indoor ATM machine is available to late evening. Beware though, if you require the assistance of a bank clerk, banks close between 1.00pm & 3pm daily in Menorca!
For those wishing to explore the island by car, nothing is too far away; why not visit the city of Mahon with its harbour and narrow streets (20 minutes), Fornells with its picturesque port and fantastic restaurants (40 minutes), the beach at Cala Galdana (30 minutes), the city of Cuitadella (60 minutes) or the water park at Calan Bosch (60 minutes), these are just some of the islands delights.
For those not familiar with Menorca the average weather statistics are:-
April average: 17 degrees C with up to 10 hours sunshine per day.

Notes on accommodation:
Casa Juan is a none smoking property and we request that our guests refrain from smoking within the villa.
In order to save you buying/bringing with you various consumables such as fairy liquid etc at the start of the season we provide within the villa a selection of these to assist with those little stains and spillages, and the washing of crockery etc. Please use these as required but in the event that one of them runs out during your stay we would appreciate it if you could replace it for the next guests to use.
